6Testpmd Runtime Functions
7=========================
8
9Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
10it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
11configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
12statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
13
14   testpmd>
15
16The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
17Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
18as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
19
20There is also support for tab completion.
21If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
22
23.. code-block:: console
24
25   testpmd> show port <TAB>
26
27       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
28       info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
29       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc X
30       stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|stat_qmap|dcb_tc all
31       ...
32
33
34.. note::
35
36   Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
37
38      testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
39               (pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
40
41In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
42
43Help Functions
44--------------
45
46The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
47These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
48
49.. code-block:: console
50
51   testpmd> help
52
53       help control    : Start and stop forwarding.
54       help display    : Displaying port, stats and config information.
55       help config     : Configuration information.
56       help ports      : Configuring ports.
57       help registers  : Reading and setting port registers.
58       help filters    : Filters configuration help.
59       help all        : All of the above sections.

62Command File Functions
63----------------------
64
65To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
66practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
67
68* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
69  will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
70  starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
71
72.. code-block:: console
73
74   ./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

110
111In all cases output from any included command will be displayed as standard output.
112Execution will continue until the end of the file is reached regardless of
113whether any errors occur.  The end user must examine the output to determine if
114any failures occurred.

274
275show config
276~~~~~~~~~~~
277
278Displays the configuration of the application.
279The configuration comes from the command-line, the runtime or the application defaults::
280
281   testpmd> show config (rxtx|cores|fwd|rxoffs|rxpkts|txpkts|txtimes)

294
295* ``txpkts``: Packets to TX configuration.
296
297* ``txtimes``: Burst time pattern for Tx only mode.
298
299For example:
300
301.. code-block:: console
302
303   testpmd> show config rxtx
304
305   io packet forwarding - CRC stripping disabled - packets/burst=16
306   nb forwarding cores=2 - nb forwarding ports=1
307   RX queues=1 - RX desc=128 - RX free threshold=0
308   RX threshold registers: pthresh=8 hthresh=8 wthresh=4
309   TX queues=1 - TX desc=512 - TX free threshold=0
310   TX threshold registers: pthresh=36 hthresh=0 wthresh=0
311   TX RS bit threshold=0 - TXQ flags=0x0
312
313set fwd
314~~~~~~~
315
316Set the packet forwarding mode::
317
318   testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
319                     rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap) (""|retry)
320
321``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
322
323The available information categories are:
324
325* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
326  This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
327  This is the default mode.
328
329* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
330  Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
331  address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
332  'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
333
334* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
335  Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
336
337* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
338  Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
339
340* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
341
342* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
343
344* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
345
346* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
347
348* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
349
350* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
351  Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
352  and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
353
354* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
355
356  L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
357
358  L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
359
360  L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
361
362Example::
363
364   testpmd> set fwd rxonly
365
366   Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
367
368
369show fwd
370~~~~~~~~
371
372When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
373Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
374
375   testpmd> show fwd stats all

641Configuration Functions
642-----------------------
643
644The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
645
646This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
647
648.. note::
649
650   Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
651
652set default
653~~~~~~~~~~~
654
655Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
656
657   testpmd> set default
658
659set verbose
660~~~~~~~~~~~
661
662Set the debug verbosity level::
663
664   testpmd> set verbose (level)
665
666Available levels are as following:
667
668* ``0`` silent except for error.
669* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
670* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
671* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
672
673set log
674~~~~~~~
675
676Set the log level for a log type::
677
678	testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
679
680Where:
681
682* ``type`` is the log name.
683
684* ``level`` is the log level.
685
686For example, to change the global log level::
687
688	testpmd> set log global (level)
689
690Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
691
692	testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
693
694set nbport
695~~~~~~~~~~
696
697Set the number of ports used by the application:
698
699set nbport (num)
700
701This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
702
703set nbcore
704~~~~~~~~~~
705
706Set the number of cores used by the application::
707
708   testpmd> set nbcore (num)
709
710This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
711
712.. note::
713
714   The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
715
716set coremask
717~~~~~~~~~~~~
718
719Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
720
721   testpmd> set coremask (mask)
722
723This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
724
725.. note::
726
727   The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
728
729set portmask
730~~~~~~~~~~~~
731
732Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
733
734   testpmd> set portmask (mask)
735
736This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
737
738set record-core-cycles
739~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
740
741Set the recording of CPU cycles::
742
743   testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
744
745Where:
746
747* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
748
749* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
750
751This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
752
753set record-burst-stats
754~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
755
756Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
757
758   testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
759
760Where:
761
762* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
763
764* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
765
766This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
767
768set burst
769~~~~~~~~~
770
771Set number of packets per burst::
772
773   testpmd> set burst (num)
774
775This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
776
777When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
778
779   testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
780
781set rxoffs
782~~~~~~~~~~
783
784Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
785if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
786offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
787
788   testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
789
790Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
791of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
792for the remaining segments.
793
794set rxpkts
795~~~~~~~~~~
796
797Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
798feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
799(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
800pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
801to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
802mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
803from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
804mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
805
806   testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
807
808Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
809means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
810
811set txpkts
812~~~~~~~~~~
813
814Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
815
816   testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
817
818Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
819
820set txtimes
821~~~~~~~~~~~
822
823Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
824the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
825timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
826application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
827to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
828and between the packets within the burst::
829
830   testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
831
832where:
833
834* ``inter``  is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
835  If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
836  first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
837  ``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
838  of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
839  previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
840  on timestamps is disabled (default).
841
842* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
843  in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
844  by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
845  provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
846
847As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
848delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
849the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
850and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
851and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
852rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
853
854set txsplit
855~~~~~~~~~~~
856
857Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
858
859   testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
860
861Where:
862
863* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
864
865* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
866  and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
867  (see above).
868
869* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
870
871set corelist
872~~~~~~~~~~~~
873
874Set the list of forwarding cores::
875
876   testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
877
878For example, to change the forwarding cores:
879
880.. code-block:: console
881
882   testpmd> set corelist 3,1
883   testpmd> show config fwd
884
885   io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
886   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
887   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
888   Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
889   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
890
891.. note::

905
906   testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
907   testpmd> show config fwd
908
909   io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
910   Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
911   RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
912   RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
913   RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03

1174
1175* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
1176  it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
1177  at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
1178  only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.

1181  and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
1182
1183Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
1184
1185   testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
1186

1191
1192csum parse-tunnel
1193~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1194
1195Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
1196engine::
1197
1198   testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
1199
1200If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
1201tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
1202
1203If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
1204header is handled as a packet payload).
1205
1206.. note::
1207
1208   The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
1209
1210Example:
1211
1212Consider a packet in packet like the following::
1213
1214   eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
1215
1216* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
1217  command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
1218  ``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
1219
1220* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum  set``
1221   command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.

1262set port - gro
1263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1264
1265Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1266
1267   testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
1268
1269If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
1270packets received from the given port.
1271
1272If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
1273GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
1274
1275.. note::
1276
1277   When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
1278   will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
1279   checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
1280   the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
1281   have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
1282   HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
1283   transmitted to.
1284
1285show port - gro
1286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1287
1288Display GRO configuration for a given port::
1289
1290   testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
1291
1292set gro flush
1293~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1294
1295Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
1296
1297   testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
1298
1299When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
1300packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
1301can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
1302from the reassembly tables.
1303
1304The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
1305engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
1306operations.
1307
1308By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
1309from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
1310of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
1311
1312Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
1313stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
1314stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
1315
1316set port - gso
1317~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1318
1319Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
1320
1321   testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
1322
1323If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
1324packets, transmitted on the given port.
1325
1326If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
1327By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
1328
1329.. note::
1330
1331   When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
1332   port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
1333   multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
1334   of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
1335   checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
1336   GSO-enabled ports.
1337
1338   For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
1339   by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
1340
1341   testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
1342
1343   testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
1344
1345   testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
1346
1347   UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
1348   as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
1349   after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
1350   header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
1351   and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
1352   correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.
1353
1354set gso segsz

1356
1357Set the maximum GSO segment size (measured in bytes), which includes the

1957rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
1958
1959 set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1960
1961There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
1962internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
1963If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
1964
1965 set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
1966
1967the default index ``0`` is used.

2025Port Functions
2026--------------
2027
2028The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
2029
2030.. note::
2031
2032   Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
2033
2034port attach
2035~~~~~~~~~~~
2036
2037Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2038
2039   testpmd> port attach (identifier)
2040
2041To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
2042Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
2043Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
2044
2045For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
2046
2047.. code-block:: console
2048
2049   # Check the status of the available devices.
2050   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2051
2052   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2053   ============================================
2054   <none>
2055
2056   Network devices using kernel driver
2057   ===================================
2058   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
2059
2060
2061   # Bind the device to igb_uio.
2062   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
2063
2064
2065   # Recheck the status of the devices.
2066   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
2067   Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
2068   ============================================
2069   0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
2070
2071To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
2072
2073For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
2074
2075.. code-block:: console
2076
2077   testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
2078   Attaching a new port...
2079   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2080   EAL:   probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2081   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2082   EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2083   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
2084   PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
2085   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2086   Done
2087
2088For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
2089
2090.. code-block:: console
2091
2092   testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
2093   Attaching a new port...
2094   PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
2095   PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
2096   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2097   Done
2098
2099In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2100This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2101
2102For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
2103the mode and slave parameters must be given.
2104
2105.. code-block:: console
2106
2107   testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
2108   Attaching a new port...
2109   EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
2110   EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
2111   Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
2112   Done
2113
2114
2115port detach
2116~~~~~~~~~~~
2117
2118Detach a specific port::
2119
2120   testpmd> port detach (port_id)
2121
2122Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
2123
2124For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
2125
2126.. code-block:: console
2127
2128   testpmd> port stop 0
2129   Stopping ports...
2130   Done
2131   testpmd> port close 0
2132   Closing ports...
2133   Done
2134
2135   testpmd> port detach 0
2136   Detaching a port...
2137   EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
2138   EAL:   remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
2139   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
2140   EAL:   PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
2141   Done
2142
2143
2144For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
2145
2146.. code-block:: console
2147
2148   testpmd> port stop 0
2149   Stopping ports...
2150   Done
2151   testpmd> port close 0
2152   Closing ports...
2153   Done
2154
2155   testpmd> port detach 0
2156   Detaching a port...
2157   PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
2158   Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
2159   Done
2160
2161To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
2162Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
2163Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
2164
2165For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
2166
2167.. code-block:: console
2168
2169   sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
2170
2171   ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status

2253port config - queues/descriptors
2254~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2255
2256Set number of queues/descriptors for rxq, txq, rxd and txd::
2257
2258   testpmd> port config all (rxq|txq|rxd|txd) (value)
2259
2260This is equivalent to the ``--rxq``, ``--txq``, ``--rxd`` and ``--txd`` command-line options.
2261
2262port config - max-pkt-len

2286
2287Packet dropping when no receive buffers available is off by default.
2288
2289The ``on`` option is equivalent to the ``--enable-drop-en`` command-line option.
2290
2291port config - RSS
2292~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2293
2294Set the RSS (Receive Side Scaling) mode on or off::

2320The traffic class should be 4 or 8.
2321
2322port config - Burst
2323~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2324
2325Set the number of packets per burst::
2326
2327   testpmd> port config all burst (value)

2441Device Functions
2442----------------
2443
2444The following sections show functions for device operations.
2445
2446device detach
2447~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2448
2449Detach a device specified by pci address or virtual device args::
2450
2451   testpmd> device detach (identifier)
2452
2453Before detaching a device associated with ports, the ports should be stopped and closed.
2454
2455For example, to detach a pci device whose address is 0002:03:00.0.
2456
2457.. code-block:: console
2458
2459    testpmd> device detach 0002:03:00.0
2460    Removing a device...
2461    Port 1 is now closed
2462    EAL: Releasing pci mapped resource for 0002:03:00.0
2463    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218a050000
2464    EAL: Calling pci_unmap_resource for 0002:03:00.0 at 0x218c050000
2465    Device 0002:03:00.0 is detached
2466    Now total ports is 1
2467
2468For example, to detach a port created by pcap PMD.
2469
2470.. code-block:: console
2471
2472    testpmd> device detach net_pcap0
2473    Removing a device...
2474    Port 0 is now closed
2475    Device net_pcap0 is detached
2476    Now total ports is 0
2477    Done
2478
2479In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
2480This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
2481

2508
2509   testpmd> add bonding slave 6 10
2510
2511
2512remove bonding slave
2513~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2514
2515Removes an Ethernet slave device from a Link Bonding device::

2563For example, set a Link Bonding device (port 10) to use a balance policy of layer 3+4 (IP addresses & UDP ports)::
2564
2565   testpmd> set bonding balance_xmit_policy 10 l34
2566
2567
2568set bonding mon_period
2569~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2572
2573This adds support for PMD slave devices which do not support link status interrupts.
2574When the mon_period is set to a value greater than 0 then all PMD's which do not support
2575link status ISR will be queried every polling interval to check if their link status has changed::
2576
2577   testpmd> set bonding mon_period (port_id) (value)
2578
2579For example, to set the link status monitoring polling period of bonded device (port 5) to 150ms::

3279
3280Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
3281features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
3282not recommended.
3283
3284``flow`` syntax
3285~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3286
3287Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
3288of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
3289other commands, in particular:
3290
3291- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
3292  token, not that of the entire command.
3293
3294- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
3295  in the contextual help).
3296
3297The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
3298their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
3299following sections.
3300
3301- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
3302
3303   flow validate {port_id}
3304       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3305       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3306       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3307
3308- Create a flow rule::
3309
3310   flow create {port_id}
3311       [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3312       pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3313       actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3314
3315- Destroy specific flow rules::
3316
3317   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
3318
3319- Destroy all flow rules::
3320
3321   flow flush {port_id}
3322
3323- Query an existing flow rule::
3324
3325   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
3326
3327- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
3328  identifiers::
3329
3330   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
3331
3332- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
3333
3334   flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
3335
3336- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
3337
3338   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
3339
3340- List and destroy aged flow rules::
3341
3342   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
3343
3344- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
3345
3346   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3347
3348- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
3349
3350   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3351
3352- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
3353
3354   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3355
3356Creating a tunnel stub for offload
3357~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3358
3359``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
3360
3361   flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
3362
3363If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
3364
3365   port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
3366
3367Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
3368
3369Destroying tunnel offload stub
3370~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3371
3372``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
3373
3374   flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
3375
3376Listing tunnel offload stubs
3377~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3378
3379``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
3380
3381   flow tunnel list {port_id}
3382
3383Validating flow rules
3384~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3385
3386``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
3387underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
3388bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
3389
3390   flow validate {port_id}
3391      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3392      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3393      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3394
3395If successful, it will show::
3396
3397   Flow rule validated
3398
3399Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3400
3401   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3402
3403This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
3404described in `Creating flow rules`_.
3405
3406Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
3407index 6 is supported::
3408
3409   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
3410      actions queue index 6 / end
3411   Flow rule validated
3412   testpmd>
3413
3414Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
3415
3416   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
3417      actions drop / end
3418   Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
3419   testpmd>
3420
3421Creating flow rules
3422~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3423
3424``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
3425to ``rte_flow_create()``::
3426
3427   flow create {port_id}
3428      [group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
3429      [tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
3430      pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
3431      actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
3432
3433If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
3434
3435   Flow rule #[...] created
3436
3437Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
3438
3439   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
3440
3441Parameters describe in the following order:
3442
3443- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
3444- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
3445- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
3446  *end* pattern item.
3447- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
3448  action.
3449
3450These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
3451underlying functions.
3452
3453The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
3454
3455   testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
3456
3457Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
3458one.
3459
3460**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
3461
3462Attributes
3463^^^^^^^^^^
3464
3465These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
3466specified before the ``pattern`` token.
3467
3468- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
3469- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
3470- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
3471- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
3472- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
3473
3474Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
3475value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
3476
3477   testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
3478
3479Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
3480
3481While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
3482simultaneously.
3483
3484Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
3485
3486   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
3487
3488Tunnel offload
3489^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3490
3491Indicate tunnel offload rule type
3492
3493- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
3494- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``:  mark rule as tunel offload match type.
3495
3496Matching pattern
3497^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3498
3499A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
3500items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
3501
3502Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
3503rte_flow_item_type``).
3504
3505The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
3506below::
3507
3508   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
3509
3510Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
3511layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
3512unlikely to match any packet::
3513
3514   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
3515
3516More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
3517documentation.
3518
3519Several items support additional specification structures, for example
3520``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
3521
3522   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3523      dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
3524
3525This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
3526
3527In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
3528``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
3529in a similar fashion.
3530
3531The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
3532and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
3533accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
3534
3535- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
3536- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
3537- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
3538- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
3539- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
3540
3541These yield identical results::
3542
3543   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
3544
3545::
3546
3547   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
3548
3549::
3550
3551   ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
3552
3553::
3554
3555   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
3556
3557::
3558
3559   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
3560
3561Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
3562
3563   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
3564
3565Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
3566
3567   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
3568      # matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
3569
3570Properties can be modified multiple times::
3571
3572   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
3573
3574::
3575
3576   ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16
3577

3788
3789Actions list
3790^^^^^^^^^^^^
3791
3792A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
3793`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
3794terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
3795
3796Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
3797rte_flow_action_type``).
3798
3799Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
3800
3801   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3802      actions drop / end
3803
3804Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
3805there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
3806queue index.
3807
3808This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
3809
3810   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3811      actions queue index 6 / end
3812
3813While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
3814
3815   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
3816      actions queue / end
3817
3818As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
3819rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
3820
3821   queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
3822
3823::
3824
3825   void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
3826
3827All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
3828action of a given type is taken into account::
3829
3830   queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
3831
3832::
3833
3834   drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
3835
3836::
3837
3838   mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
3839
3840Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
3841actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
3842
3843   drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
3844
3845::
3846
3847   queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
3848
3849::
3850
3851   drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
3852
3853Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

4060Destroying flow rules
4061~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4062
4063``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
4064by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
4065times as necessary::
4066
4067   flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
4068
4069If successful, it will show::
4070
4071   Flow rule #[...] destroyed
4072
4073It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
4074message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
4075
4076   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4077
4078``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
4079arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
4080
4081   flow flush {port_id}
4082
4083Any errors are reported as above.
4084
4085Creating several rules and destroying them::
4086
4087   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4088      actions queue index 2 / end
4089   Flow rule #0 created
4090   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4091      actions queue index 3 / end
4092   Flow rule #1 created
4093   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
4094   Flow rule #1 destroyed
4095   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4096   testpmd>
4097
4098The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
4099
4100   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4101      actions queue index 2 / end
4102   Flow rule #0 created
4103   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4104      actions queue index 3 / end
4105   Flow rule #1 created
4106   testpmd> flow flush 0
4107   testpmd>
4108
4109Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
4110
4111   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4112      actions queue index 2 / end
4113   Flow rule #0 created
4114   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4115      actions queue index 3 / end
4116   Flow rule #1 created
4117   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
4118   testpmd>
4119   testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
4120   Flow rule #0 destroyed
4121   testpmd>
4122
4123Querying flow rules
4124~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4125
4126``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
4127ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
4128command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
4129
4130   flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
4131
4132If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
4133or the following message::
4134
4135   Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
4136
4137Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
4138error occurred::
4139
4140   Flow rule #[...] not found
4141
4142::
4143
4144   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4145
4146Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
4147number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
4148output has the following format::
4149
4150   count:
4151    hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
4152    bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
4153    hits: [...] # number of packets
4154    bytes: [...] # number of bytes
4155
4156Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
4157
4158   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
4159      actions queue index 6 / count / end
4160   Flow rule #4 created
4161   testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
4162   count:
4163    hits_set: 1
4164    bytes_set: 0
4165    hits: 386446
4166    bytes: 0
4167   testpmd>
4168
4169Listing flow rules
4170~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4171
4172``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
4173filtered by group identifiers::
4174
4175   flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
4176
4177This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
4178exist::
4179
4180   Invalid port [...]
4181
4182Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
4183flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
4184configured on the device::
4185
4186   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4187   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]   [...]
4188
4189``Attr`` column flags:
4190
4191- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
4192- ``e`` for ``egress``.
4193
4194Creating several flow rules and listing them::
4195
4196   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
4197      actions queue index 6 / end
4198   Flow rule #0 created
4199   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
4200      actions queue index 2 / end
4201   Flow rule #1 created
4202   testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
4203      actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
4204   Flow rule #2 created
4205   testpmd> flow list 0
4206   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4207   0       0       0       i-      ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
4208   1       0       0       i-      ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
4209   2       0       5       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
4210   testpmd>
4211
4212Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
4213
4214   testpmd> flow list 1
4215   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4216   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4217   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4218   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4219   1       24      0       i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4220   4       24      10      i-      ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
4221   3       24      20      i-      ETH IPV4 => DROP
4222   2       24      42      i-      ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4223   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4224   testpmd>
4225
4226Output can be limited to specific groups::
4227
4228   testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
4229   ID      Group   Prio    Attr    Rule
4230   0       0       0       i-      ETH => COUNT
4231   6       0       500     i-      ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
4232   5       0       1000    i-      ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
4233   7       63      0       i-      ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
4234   testpmd>
4235
4236Toggling isolated mode
4237~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4238
4239``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
4240must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
4241is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
4242resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
4243
4244 flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
4245
4246If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
4247
4248 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4249    is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4250
4251Or::
4252
4253 Ingress traffic on port [...]
4254    is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4255
4256Otherwise, in case of error::
4257
4258   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4259
4260Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
4261ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
4262first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
4263
4264Enabling isolated mode::
4265
4266 testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
4267 Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
4268 testpmd>
4269
4270Disabling isolated mode::
4271
4272 testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
4273 Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
4274 testpmd>
4275
4276Dumping HW internal information
4277~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4278
4279``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
4280all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
4281
4282   flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
4283
4284If successful, it will show::
4285
4286   Flow dump finished
4287
4288Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
4289
4290   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4291
4292Listing and destroying aged flow rules
4293~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4294
4295``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
4296and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
4297
4298   flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
4299
4300Listing current aged flow rules::
4301
4302   testpmd> flow aged 0
4303   Port 0 total aged flows: 0
4304   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
4305      actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 /  end
4306   Flow rule #0 created
4307   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
4308      actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 /  end
4309   Flow rule #1 created
4310   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
4311      actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 /  end
4312   Flow rule #2 created
4313   testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
4314      actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 /  end
4315   Flow rule #3 created
4316
4317
4318Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
4319information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
4320those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
4321will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
4322

4349Creating shared actions
4350~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4351``flow shared_action {port_id} create`` creates shared action with optional
4352shared action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_create()``::
4353
4354   flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
4355      [ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
4356
4357If successful, it will show::
4358
4359   Shared action #[...] created
4360
4361Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action already exists or that
4362some error occurred::
4363
4364   Shared action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
4365
4366::
4367
4368   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4369
4370Create shared rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
4371
4372   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id 100 \
4373      ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
4374
4375Create shared rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
4376port 0::
4377
4378	testpmd> flow shared_action 0 create action_id \
4379		ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
4380
4381Updating shared actions
4382~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4383``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` updates configuration of the shared
4384action from its shared action ID (as returned by
4385``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4386``rte_flow_shared_action_update()``::
4387
4388   flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
4389      action {action} / end
4390
4391If successful, it will show::
4392
4393   Shared action #[...] updated
4394
4395Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4396error occurred::
4397
4398   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4399
4400::
4401
4402   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4403
4404Update shared rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
4405(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
4406
4407   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
4408
4409Destroying shared actions
4410~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4411``flow shared_action {port_id} update`` destroys one or more shared actions
4412from their shared action IDs (as returned by
4413``flow shared_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
4414``rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()``::
4415
4416   flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
4417
4418If successful, it will show::
4419
4420   Shared action #[...] destroyed
4421
4422It does not report anything for shared action IDs that do not exist.
4423The usual error message is shown when a shared action cannot be destroyed::
4424
4425   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4426
4427Destroy shared actions having id 100 & 101::
4428
4429   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
4430
4431Query shared actions
4432~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4433``flow shared_action {port_id} query`` queries the shared action from its
4434shared action ID (as returned by ``flow shared_action {port_id} create``).
4435It is bound to ``rte_flow_shared_action_query()``::
4436
4437  flow shared_action {port_id} query {shared_action_id}
4438
4439Currently only rss shared action supported. If successful, it will show::
4440
4441   Shared RSS action:
4442      refs:[...]
4443
4444Otherwise, it will complain either that shared action not found or that some
4445error occurred::
4446
4447   Failed to find shared action #[...] on port [...]
4448
4449::
4450
4451   Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
4452
4453Query shared action having id 100::
4454
4455   testpmd> flow shared_action 0 query 100
4456
4457Sample QinQ flow rules
4458~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4459
4460Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
4461
4462   testpmd> port stop 0
4463   testpmd> vlan set extend on 0
4464
4465The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
4466
4467To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
4468
4469   testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
4470   testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
4471   testpmd> port start 0
4472
4473Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
4474
4475::
4476
4477   testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan tci is 123 /
4478       vlan tci is 456 / end actions vf id 1 / queue index 0 / end

4506Sample VXLAN flow rules
4507~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4508
4509Before creating VXLAN rule(s), the UDP port should be added for VXLAN packet
4510filter on a port::
4511
4512  testpmd> rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0
4513
4514Create VXLAN rules on port 0 to steer traffic to PF queues.

4923BPF Functions
4924--------------
4925
4926The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
4927
4928bpf-load
4929~~~~~~~~
4930
4931Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
4932
4933   testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
4934
4935The available load-flags are:
4936
4937* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
4938
4939* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
4940
4941* ``-``: none.
4942
4943.. note::
4944
4945   You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
4946
4947For example:
4948
4949.. code-block:: console
4950
4951   cd examples/bpf
4952   clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
4953
4954Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
4955
4956.. code-block:: console
4957
4958   testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4959
4960To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
4961
4962.. code-block:: console
4963
4964   testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
4965
4966bpf-unload
4967~~~~~~~~~~
4968
4969Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
4970
4971   testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
4972
4973For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
4974
4975.. code-block:: console
4976
4977   testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
4978
